Changelogs

Version 2.7

Added alternate compatibility version which doesn't contain friendly map naming (friendly animals will still appear on the map), but which has improved compatibility with other mods. See installation instructions for more info.

Added new "entity" tag to align with A17.1 b9 stable.

Added compatibility with "Darkness Falls" mod

Version 2.6

There is now a chance for friendlies to spawn in all biomes using the biome spawner, just like in FA 1.x. They're the most common in forests, but still have a chance at spawning in harsher biomes.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If you were using a non-modlet version of FA such as version 2.3 or lower, you must first reset the modified config files back to vanilla by doing a Steam file verification on the game or restoring from backup. To do this, right-click 7 Days to Die in Steam > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Unzip archive.

2a. For version 2.7+, place either the "FriendlyAnimals" folder OR the "FriendlyAnimalsCompatibility" folder inside your Steam Library's "7 Days to Die/Mods" folder. Do not place both folders into your game's mods folder.

"FriendlyAnimals" is the version of the mod which has the "friendly map naming" feature, otherwise they will show on the map with the default entity naming. If Friendly Animals is your only mod, you can use this version, and may be able to use this with other mods as well. If you have any game issues, are using other mods, and removing this mod fixes the problem, try the "FriendlyAnimalsCompatibility" version.

"FriendlyAnimalsCompatibility" is the version of the mod which has the default entity naming on the map, but improves compatbility with other mods.

2b. For version 2.4+, place the "FriendlyAnimals" folder inside your Steam Library's "7 Days to Die/Mods" folder.

2c. For FA v2.3 and lower: Copy the entityclasses.xml file (and optionally the entitygroups.xml and spawning.xml files in version 1.x to enable spawning of friendly animals across all biomes) to your Steam Library's "7 Days To Die/Data/Config" folder.

Note: If you don't know where your Steam Library folder is for the game, you can get to this location by going into Steam, right-clicking 7 Days to Die > Properties > Local Files tab > Browse Local Files
